Whirlpool ultraease 2 with the indoor ice/water dispenser. Awhile ago, the ice dispenser started to inconsistently not work. Sometimes, it seems like it was not detecting that I was pushing the cup arm in, which should start the ice dispensing. Subsequently, it did not work at all. Light indicators are working, and the water is coming out, but the ice does not seem to engage at all.. I don't hear any noise indicating that it's even trying to dispense ice. Anyone know what I should look at, and how to repair this? Thx.
This is possibly only a defective micro-switch on the Dispenser Module. Can you post the model number so I can examine the correct parts?
I am here should you need me, Thanks John Tripp Appliance 911

Trying to figure how to get to the dispenser module..will have that in a day or so.
Are you looking for the part number of the actual dispenser motor? This would require me to take apart the motor assembly correct?
The model number of your refrigerator. Ultraease 2 is only the filtration system on you fridge.

Have you checked inside the ice bin, if the ice froze together it will not dispense. If this is the case, lightly chisel it apart until the motor is able to spin and dispense. Remove as much of the "blocks" of ice as you can before trying to dispense
yes. As mentioned, if it was frozen, i would still hear some sort of motor noise, but nothing. I also took out the ice bin, and still no sounds.

Scorpio, remove the ice bin itself, dump the ice and see if you can move the bin auger by hand by turning the actuator in the rear. If the bin is ok, with the door open and the door switch held in see if the auger motor is turning when pressing the ice lever. If it's not turning the next logical step is to see whether the auger motor is getting voltage when calling for ice. Make sure the door switch is closed. The part number for the auger motor on the posted model is wr60x0202. Hope this gets you going..Catriver.

GodofHops: The motor that you hear on the refrigerator is the water pump that carries the water to your dispenser. If no water is coming from the dispenser. You have to check 3 things: 1. If there's any water. 2. Water filter clogged. 3. Water line for dispenser clogged with minerales carried on water flow. SithPitt

Deb, sounds like your dispenser control board has given up the ghost. The boards come in 2 models, 4 button and 5 button. The 4 button part # is WR55X10443 (~$87.00)... the 5 button part # is WR55X10437 (~$97.00). Not too difficult to replace. UNPLUG YOUR FRIDGE!!! Remove the drip tray from the dispenser, and any screws hiding in there. Then, using a flat screwdriver and starting at the bottom of the fascia, pry the fascia away from the door and remove. Then remove the screws holding the control in place and disconnect any wiring. (Don't forget to pay close attention to WHERE the wires connect and HOW the wires are routed!) Then install the new board and rebuild. Approx. repair time for your first one is ~1 hour. Good luck!

The icemakers won't make ice if the temperature is not below a certain set point. Varies between manufacturers. Try making the temp colder.
